Rendezvous The Kingdom Of God

If paradise is the goal, we must acknowledge that it is not a national matter it is not for the crowd, it is an individual’s striving. Nations however, need religion to keep people in check. There will be chaos without religion. A people who are faithless are dead people, they have no hope nor care in the world and therefore dangerous. More

This book is about the human-kind’s great journey towards the mysterious hereafter. This Great Journey is pegged on religious beliefs and practices. Both the atheist and the person who believes that God or gods exist are travelling at the same velocity towards the grave. Whether the hereafter is or is not has remained to be a matter of supposition in the mind of the philosopher. Christ in the Bible says: “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ( M't:5:43-45).“Death to the infidel,” the Muslim calls out! The Judaist historically exterminates the Amelekites before genocide is coined as an aggression against humanity by humanity; “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.” (1Sa:15:3:); The Christian is sucked into the religious wave of the time and initiates Crusade for God and King. Men and women alike are drawn into the religious chaos that is intended to structure political and social order in the cosmos.In this grand march, we are all players; this march leads somewhere, so we must believe. Beyond here, what is beyond is in the hands of The Great Almighty, whatever you perceive Him/Her to be. We can only speculate, imagine and dream of what is beyond the now. We never planned to be born, we don’t plan to die; we can only prepare for the eventualities! It is suicidal to plan to die. However, whatever the case, religion has put more people to death than all wars put together. The Christian, for example, believed in putting to death the heretic, but logic in the Christian concept has it that all shall meet in the Kingdom, the murderer and the victim! For this reason, religious purpose ends in the action where camouflaged political-economic interest takes over.

Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More than anything, He salutes Smashwords Inc. for the platform. In retrospect, He recalls a Dr. Alfred Sam, a friend of his from North America who was also a dean of studies in a local university, exposing his white ass in the university's auditorium to catch attention. The noise ceased as students and lecturers turned to look at the grown-up man on the podium doing the abominable. Well, the good Dr. in anthropology then simply pulled up his trousers buckled the belt and said, "Thank You, now I have your attention..."For the sake of simplicity, without much display of academia, Will Anthony Jr. is a writer in the global village market . For this, he Salutes all his readers and all lovers of written work. In a word of caution, he says that men and women alike must bear. In reference, there is an Ibo saying that every market place has it's mad people who will attempt to mar the business of the seemingly sane people. On the other hand, the English say everyone is mad, it's only the degree madness that is at variance. Salutes most profoundly!
